The school is an important part of our parish community. Perhaps you have children who have attended, or currently attend our school. Studies show that students who attend Catholic Schools are more likely to remain Catholic as adults and continue to the mission of the Church. We wish to support our school by upgrading the old high school building, currently used for junior high students and Religious Education, by installing an infrastructure fiber optic system that will enable us to better meet the technological needs of each student.
Our church was built at a time when indoor cooling/heating was inefficient and depending on the time of year, the temperature in the church can get uncomfortable. We have recently replaced two units in the church, but we must complete the job. The remaining units are not only inefficient, but they are no longer properly heating and cooling the church. We will install two new HVAC systems to help moderate the temperature in the church to make our worship experience more comfortable.
It has been many years since the interior of the church has been painted. Proceeds from the campaign will be used to paint the church and add additional decorative accents in the various shrines.
The roof on the church/rectory is past its useful life expectancy and occasionally we experience leaks. Up until now we have patched sections of the roof; however, we can no longer put off the inevitable. We will replace the roof to keep further damage from happening.
*As always, I am most grateful to each of you for your generosity and support as we move forward to this next phase of our Parish improvements. May God reward you!
We — the Catholic faithful — are the agents of renewal for Church and society. I am grateful for this opportunity to walk alongside clergy and parishioners in strengthening our parishes and ministries, the heart of our Archdiocese.
Our parishes are more than buildings; they are the spiritual homes for millions in our Archdiocese. Embracing our mission to be a community of praise, worship, and witness, Called to Renew recognizes the vital role of parishes in the day-to- day life of a vibrant Church and is dedicated to meeting their needs.
As Christians, we are called to meet the spiritual and temporal needs of others. Called to Renew provides us with an extraordinary opportunity to expand and enhance our ministries to the most vulnerable among us, so we may walk with the sick and dying as well as with the victims and perpetrators of violent crimes and their families.
The future of our Church is strengthened when men hear and answer the Lord’s call to serve as his shepherds. The Archdiocese is committed to vocations and the formation of our seminarians and clergy, so they may minister with joyful hearts in the years ahead.
Our mission to live in greater communion with God and the Church is carried out through our parish and diocesan schools, religious education and faith formation programs, and our presence on college campuses throughout Southern California.
